my bet is that is zeroes out the accelerometers. do not do this unless you are sure your surface is level.
Sorry, that makes "zero" sense.
If you were already perfectly level your default accelerometers would already be at zero. If it is slightly off of level, zero'ing out the accelerometers is exactly what you want to do in order to establish your new zero state.
Do it EVERYTIME you setup, in order to ensure you are at "zero". Hell, I do it everytime I get ready to play, even if I didn't move the device.
JB, it makes zero sense because you don't know how accelerometer calibration works. doing re-calibration zeroes your unit to the surface it is sitting on which may or may not be orthogonal to earth's cg.
let me give you an example with a 45 degree wedge shot: if your garage was built on a hill with a 45 deg slope and you calibrated your R10 to this garage floor, it would be zeroed to read 0 degrees even though it is sitting on a sloped floor and your wedge shot would still read 45 deg launch and give you normal distance numbers. when in fact the ball launched 90 degrees straight up into the sky relative to True Level and carried zero yards.
i reiterate..DO NOT randomly calibrate your R10 if you have not already validated the surface to be level. don't assume your garage floor or the mat at your outdoor range bay is more level than the surface they used to calibrate your unit on at the factory. if you already validated your surface then go ahead and calibrate as much as you want, but your original advice to do it every time you setup is at best unnecessary and at worst completely wrong.

Read Garmin's documentation on calibration as a last resort and the specific instruction to ensure your surface is level first:
